Covered by the Austrian Minister of Justice Michalek in violation of his oath of office, the following persons gained entry to the Parliament under false pretenses, to force a law against their political opponents, specifically me.

Paul Grosz, Dr. Gabriel Lansky, Dr. Ruth Mireczki, Dr. Georg Zanger, M.A. Brigitte Bailer-Galanda, Dr. Dieter Lenhardt, and Dr. Heinrich Vana.
